Fabulous restored home in quaint Ponchatoula!! It was perfect for our group of 8 guests, and we appreciated the little touches like extra water and snacks. We loved the nice beds and comfy furniture in living room. The carport was nice as well, as it was raining when we arrived! The yard and corner lot we very well kept - and the neighborhood was easy to walk around. Great family reunion trip, and perfect stay!!

Short LA Stay

My daughter and I stayed here while in town for her softball tournament in Hammond. The home was very cozy and spacious. She is very accommodating and provides several extra amenities. It's within walking distance to the quaint town with several restaurants and stores. We will definitely be back.We were only there for a short time

Renter

We had an issue with the ice maker in the refrigerator, it didn’t work. The veggie drawer froze our fresh fruit and veggies costing us. Also, the dryer didn’t work at all so we had to go to a laundromat to dry our clothes. It couldn’t be replaced/repaired u til after our stay, the owner offered to dry our clothes but we were uncomfortable with that option. For the amount of money we paid, I expected no less than everything in working order. A little disappointed with this VRBO.

Family travel

My youngest daughter and I traveled to Louisiana for the birth of a grandchild . Due to an unforeseen postnatal situation , we had to delay our departure. We then were fortunate enough to find this rental which was so comfortable and inviting . The hosts were formidable , rendering the whole experience very soothing. The home style atmosphere of this rental was truly a port in a storm . Thank you .I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone traveling to this area.

Home town favorite

I am originally from Ponchatoula, came home for Mardi Gras. Our host was in a parade we thought we were not going to be here in time for. They left goodie bags for us all. They were very help with every request. I will choose this home again.
